FanGraphs Audio: A Timely Dialogue with Kiley McDaniel

by
August 17, 2015

Episode 587
Kiley McDaniel is both (a) the lead prospect analyst for FanGraphs and also (b) the guest on this particular edition of FanGraphs Audio — during which edition he discusses some recently promoted prospects (Gregory Bird, John Lamb, Luis Severino), a curiously successful one (Zachary Godley), and the implications of prep-showcase season on the 2016 draft.

This edition of the program is sponsored by Draft, the first truly mobile fantasy sports app. Compete directly against idiot host Carson Cistulli by clicking here.

You Aren't a FanGraphs Member
It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.
3. Dark mode and Classic mode!
4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.

10. Help support FanGraphs and our entire staff! Our Members provide us with critical resources to improve the site and deliver new features!
We hope you'll consider a Membership today, for yourself or as a gift! And we realize this has been an awfully long sales pitch, so we've also removed all the other ads in this article. We didn't want to overdo it.

Black Scholes pricing for player salaries. Nice.

I’m definitely incorporating “I am going to attempt to beat you” into my trash-talking routine.

Sponsorship and planned segments? This podcast is becoming so corporate all of a sudden.

Strong Disagree. The model for this type of podcast is Up and In. I want the podcast to loosely quote KG “feel like you’re are at a bar with a friend talking”. This includes baseball,scouting, and personal stuff. I love the information. I love the “how the sausage is made” stuff. I like the whole scouting/personal life stuff or what you are drinking.
